Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents The Arabs are the most wretched people in the world today, even if they do not realize it -- A deep sense of malaise permeates every corner of the Arab world -- The Arab malaise is a period of history and it is now more acute than it was before -- Modernity was not the cause of the Arab malaise -- The Arab malaise is not the result of modernity but of modernity's collapse -- The Arabs' malaise is more a function of their geography than their history -- The worst aspect of the Arabs' malaise is their refusal to emerge from it, but, if happiness is not in sight, some form of equilibrium at least is possible.
Subject Civilization, Arab.
Islam and politics -- Arab countries.
